According to the World Health Organisation’s latest report, a new Covid-19 variant, a recombinant of the BA.1 and BA.2 Omicron strains, has been found in the UK.
The new variant called “XE” was first detected in the United Kingdom on January 19, and over 600 cases have been reported since then.
“The XE recombinant was first detected in the United Kingdom on January 19 and over 600 sequences have been reported and confirmed since,” WHO said in its weekly epidemiological update last Month.
“Early-day estimates indicate a community growth rate advantage of ~10% as compared to BA.2, however this finding requires further confirmation,” WHO said.
“XE belongs to the Omicron variant until significant differences in transmission and disease characteristics, including severity, may be reported. WHO continues to closely monitor and assess the public health risk associated with recombinant variants, alongside other SARS-CoV-2 variants, and will provide updates as further evidence becomes available,” WHO continued.The United Kingdom’s Health Security Agency has stated that they are monitoring XE along with other two other Covid-19 variants, XD and XF.

Weird that they didn’t name it Xi
And the notavax won’t work on this one, either.

If it’s in the UK they could have called it the XKE variant.
Xi - Xe ? Who cares? it’s produced the same!
600 cases in 65 days. That certainly tracks as highly contaigious
They skipped over Xi when naming variants according to the Greek Alphabet. None dare insult the emperor.
New and improved Covid, now with XE!
“XE” variant huh?
Who does WHO think they are fooling?
Well, the people who need to be afraid and be full tremble and terror are the VACCINATED.
“And the notavax won’t work on this one, either”.
“notavax” Excellent!
Cowpox cured Smallpox. Remember that.
